I personally do not like the way that the world now tosses around autism like its a collectable, that started up with adhd and its only gotten worse, and then it started up again with autism.
I understanding the benefits of having labels for things but like, you absolutely don’t need to rush finding labels for things you experience when you can just do the things to improve your experiences that you know you need to do, and if you can’t do them this is just a sign that more focus on health habits are needed somewhere because sleep diet exercise is our bodys gas and oil that is absolutely vital to working efficiently so we don’t kill ourselves.
I know it’s kind of a trend but I think that is the case because so many people identify with it.
I wouldn’t have cared about the label itself it if wouldn’t have come with a vast amount of knowledge and explanations for many aspects of my life. This is why I cared about this and why I talk about it with others, because deep diving into the topic has helped me learn a lot more about myself more than anything else in my life and it explains many of my interactions with others as well as other peoples behaviours.
And to be honest many of the struggles of people on the authism and ADHD spectrum are not really something that can be solved with typical self improvement tactics, it’s something to manage or maybe to medicate, but if you haven’t found out that you fit the label it would be impossible to figure this out.
Hmm, maybe its a bias of mine because I’ve had totally the opposite experience, I knew way too much about all these kinds of things before the terms got trendy so it only ever seems like hindrance to fixing things.
